II
The Bavarian City of Nuremberg, like many German cities, had been flattened during the war. But its Palace of Justice remained operational and held over a thousand detainees. Being the birthplace of the Third Reich, it was a symbolic place to hold the military tribunals, ending the injustice the site had spawned.

There was a panel of four judges installed to preside over the Nuremberg Trials, handling the cases of top Nazi leaders. These judges were representatives of the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and France. The event was the first ever set of international trials to deal with war criminals.

IV
Being the first international hearings of their kind, the Nuremberg Trials served as a model when it came to prosecuting war crimes committed in Japan. The historic event was also the first to handle crimes against humanity. The other category it dealt with was "crimes against the peace."

V
With four judges and an alternate supplied by different countries, the Nuremberg Trial's first challenge was to overcome their language barriers. To resolve the issue, IBM came up with a translation system. Simultaneous translations were fed through headsets to avoid confusion, and the proceedings flowed with remarkably few interruptions, given the newness of the technology.

The word genocide comes from the word 'genos', a Greek word for race or tribe, plus the suffix 'cide', which means killings in Latin. Genocide was coined by Raphael Lemkin, who worked alongside the chief American prosecutor, Robert Jackson, at the international tribunal.
